There’s an intense urge to release and finalize, in order to regain personal power with a transformative Scorpio Moon on Monday October 3. Self-serving motivation manages to boost us fast and forward with a Venus/Pluto sextile and Mars/Jupiter square on Wednesday October 5. Passionate fires have built a new strength to burn, burn burn as Pluto stationed direct on Monday September 26. We’re more willing to do what is needed to satisfy dark cravings, to experience inner potential and to follow a new, meaningful calling.

If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we are not really living. Gail Sheehy

And as mentioned in my previously unpublished article (thanks to Mercury retrograde): Major changes will continue to be in the air, which will cause shifts in direction. Intense energy is vibrating from the recent New Moon/Solar Eclipse from September 1… while Jupiter left a twelve month transit in meticulous Virgoon Friday September 9, to enter connecting Libra.

Jupiter enters Libra. As Jupiter transits through Libra, we’ll be faced with opportunities that can help to broaden our knowledge, beliefs, and philosophy through relationships. From socializing, communicating, corresponding, writing, networking and negotiating to relate with others – this journey can help us to grow, through the company we choose to keep. Jupiter in Libra is seeking balance; through our own participation of being honest, fair, and respectful.

In the meantime, some may have experienced some of the confusing limitations from this year’s Saturn/Neptune square (its most recent aspect occurred on Saturday September 10)where barriers, boundaries, bridges and connections have been slowly weakening, deteriorating and seemingly slipping from our grip. While it may be convenient to blame situations and others with excuses, it’s also the easy way to play the victim, rather than become part of the solution.

This may be helpful to remember as we become more aware through our personal relationships, romantic love affairs, business partnerships and estrangements this year as Jupiter transits Libra for the year ahead. The aim will be for peace and balance. Maybe agreeing to disagree.

And the cosmic scales will be weighing – in order to evenly match us with our honesty and respect – or with our excuses and judgments. Our current situation, is the result of our own choices.To improve our reality and relationships, we can choose learn how to become self-reliant, while being more aware as to how our decisions can dramatically affect others…. Or we can ignore this fact about our connections, and just let it fall apart from lack of awareness, inactivity and neglect. In the end, what we’ll be left with; due to our own sense of care and responsibility; will either be a beautiful blessing or a hard lesson learned.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. Kahlil Gibran

Mercury enters Libra. With Mercury stationing direct back on Thursday September 22, thoughts, communications and travel began to move forward once again. On Friday, October 7, Mercury joins Sun (ego, spirit) and Jupiter (abundance, expansion) in balancing Libra. Charm and likability can be pursued, as a way to persuade, negotiate and meet each other halfway in agreement. While assumptions, opinions and judgments can ruffle feathers under this three week transit… honesty, facts and fairness can settle doubts and suspicions to resolve differences. Make it a great week!
